Don’t be guilty of paper crime! Reduce clutter, protect the environment, save time!

Are you in a habit of keeping those paper utility bills just in case a dispute happens?  Does your drawer contain folders of manuals, receipts, handouts, newsletters, etc. for reference later on? Do you sometimes forget to pay your bills because your monthly statement was late or worse, did not arrive? How many magazines and newspapers are stacked on your desk waiting for you to read them?  Do you constantly print or photocopy materials when you can easily view them from your computer?

            

If you are like a lot of people, chances are you are guilty of paper crime which not only causes clutter in your home or workplace but also inflict damage to the environment.  When mature trees are cut to produce paper, we also take the risk of inhaling unhealthy air or reducing our water supply.  Trees filter out pollution, protect sources of fresh water, and fill the earth with oxygen.  On the other side, when factories process paper, they also produce pollutants.
